My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread
First, you're never going to win a head on battle with an adversary that's got you outgunned. That's not the point of the Resistance. The point is to create friction, make it hard for your adversary to operate, to increase transaction costs.
Second, resistance doesn't have to be a dramatic act. It can be a small act, like losing a sheet of paper, taking your time processing something, not serving someone in a restaurant. Small acts taken by thousands have big effects.
Third, use your privilege and access if you've got it. He and his buddies stole weapons from the Nazis by driving up with a truck to the weapons depot, speaking German, acting like it was a routine pick up, and driving away.
Fourth, and this is part of the third point really, sometimes the best way to do things is right out in the open. Because no one will believe something like what you're doing would be happening so blatantly. All good Social Engineers know this.
Five, bide your time. But be ready for opportunity when it strikes. Again, your action need not be dramatic. Just a little sand in the gears helps.
Six, and this is a no brainer, operate in cells to limit damage to the resistance should they take you out. Limit the circulation of info to your cell, avoid writing things down and . . .
Seven, be very careful with whom you trust. Snitches and compromised individuals are everywhere. My Dad was arrested because of a snitch. His friends weren't so lucky, the Gestapo machine gunned the cabin they were in without bothering to try and arrest them.
Eight, use the skills you have to contribute. Dad was an electrical engineer. When the Nazis imposed the death penalty for owning a radio (the British sent coded messages to the Resistance after BBC shows) he said he became the most popular guy in town.
But everything's cool and we're not going to need to engage in any of this. We don't have a President who openly admires and coddles dictators while trashing our democratic allies. Our President has read the Constitution he's taken an oath to uphold, and so have his followers.
my father & family were taken from Poland to Germany for forced labor but first to Dachau. He was 9.He, like your father, told me all about it& the warning signs. He also made me make a list of things to take if ppl came and gave 1 hr to take what u could carry on your back
What is on the list? This is a great question...
I agree: tell us please
sturdy shoes, a coat (even if it's summer,) money would be worthless so things you could sell, socks (feet are important, if you can't walk/work your worthless and could be shot), xtr glasses, pictures, warm clothes, meds, tools to open cans, knife or knife like object
Jewelry, gold, diamonds, hidden in items you are wearing...
Sew them into false seams or collars. One stitch through chains. Remove stones where possible and sew the settings separate from the stones. A former patient shared her stories with me.
My grandmother showed me the skirt, petticoat, cami, blouse and jacket she wore to leave Russia during the pograms. Her family’s wealth sewn into those clothes. Three of four grandparents were immigrants. The stories suck...walking 100’s of miles, being so hungry you eat bark...
look at it this way - yes, it is horrible that they suffered and had to flee but they made it, they persevered. They survived in spite of those that persecuted them
Thank you Tor. USA, Australia, Philippines, Hungary, Italy, Turkey etc all sliding toward fascistic totalitarianism with a terrifying inevitability. Please keep sharing experiences & knowledge, we are going to need it.

Yep. The UK govt is unravelling due process, rule of law & checks & balances on democracy under the guise of Brexit (fear & hate machine) whilst creating a hostile environment for immigrants, the disabled or anyone impoverished by their ‘austerity’ policies. Nightmare.
I think the window to effect meaningful change in our societies is rapidly closing. This week Australian gov't is passing laws to make it illegal for journalists to do their job. Very soon underground resistance will be all we have.
It’s happening here too. Sadly the press is owned by the far right and even the BBC is now so biased it should wear a moustache. Press here haven’t been doing their proper job here for years. Hence the hate, lies & fearmongering that led to Brexit. Utterly awful.
One of the biggest threat to society is right media outlets spreading all over the country, spreading misinformtion, while there is a lot of distraction going on.
Read “The Eliminationist” or ‘Alt-America” by @DavidNeiwert describes the phenom exactly on how this rightwing media works.
Went to alarming but brill Bannon exhibition https://theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/21/steve-bannon-films-propaganda-art-rotterdam-exhibition … ‘Bannon’s work shows the script for Trumpism was written long before Trump came along. Our reality has been co-authored by Bannon. His core ideas have become the contemporary paradigms we are living with today’
You should read this from the Vatican a year ago. Steve Bannon is focused on, “Apocalyptic Geopolitics”https://www.inquisitr.com/4406923/vatican-says-american-catholics-and-evangelicals-think-like-islamic-fundamentalists/ …
